And why not use PC Companion to upgrade?
because PC Companion and Sony update service both say its up to date....
It's not, it's running 4.0.4 ICS

It's the latest version for your region I suppose.

So, nearly every Live with Walkman has the reboot problem. It means that phone constantly reboots when it goes to standby mode, or you're playing crocky 3D games. This problem causes missed calls and sometimes you just have no choice but to take the battery out.
If somebody knows some proved methods to overcome the problem, please share with us.

try to re-install your ROM
@212th,
Have you tried to update or repair the software? Both can be done with PC Companion, www.sonyericsson.com/pccompanion.
If there's no new software available, just unplug the phone and click on the repair option instead. Remember to backup your data before doing this (contacts, messages, calendar etc.).

Hi all!
I'm stealing this thread a bit from rebooting..
It's like this.. I update my wife Live with walkman to the latest "4.0.2.A.0.62 (Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman)"
And after that was done, the phone just refuse to start. When you press the switch the led lamp just blink green a couple of time but the phone wont start!
Any know what to do? I see all over forums that many has this problem..
With regards.
Michael
You have to update your phone to newest firmware 4.0.2.A.0.62, which fixes the reboot issue. This was a software issue, which was fixed by Sony Ericsson.
Download Sony Ericsson Update Service(SEUS), and update via this program. This should fix the problem.
Copy-paste this link to download the Update Service
http://dl-www.sonyericsson.com/cws/download/1/110/61/1309763183/Update_Service_Setup-2.11.7.13.exe
Should also fix the problem of Bjerven, last poster. All instructions are inside the program.
Click Thanks if I helped.

Try using the Update Service(and not PC Companion) to repair your phone software and then try again.

Ty for your swift response
I havent had any problems with my lww. It didnt even restart by itself automatically since the day i bought it. I must say im very satisfied with this powerful phone
Hey, have you tried flashing any other stock roms using flashtool. Try flashing different firmware versions and see if you can get your phone working again.
Sent from my WT19i using xda premium
Hi, no I haven't try any custom rom's in the phone yet. Will try that as a last resort.
With regards.
Michael
No, try stock roms first with different firmware versions before you try custom roms. Is your bootloader unlocked? Try custom roms only if your bootloader is unlocked.

I had never got this problem on my WT19i.
still restarting even after update to .62
Hello,
I am new here and bought the WT19i last march 2012. never had problem until recently (this october). the WT19i is now restarting like hell and cannot even be used. so i searched all over the net and found that i need to upgrade it to .62 (i was on .58 then) so to use the warranty i sent it and they upgraded the firmware to .62. but the problem still exist although you can now use it and the restarting was reduced, but it is still restarting. can anyone help?
it is on firmware .62
BB - 64
not rooted
locked bootloader (although it is unlockable)
can anyone help?
i am planning on installing 4.0.4 .587 but im worried about the performance, battery life and camera might struggle.
also is there really a difference in updating via PCC / SEUS and via flashtool using a stock .587 rom?
not rooted
locked bootloader

I find the .587 more battery efficient than older one. Try it its worth of the upgrade
If the device still under warranty - do send for warranty :good:

i sent it already. previously it was on GB .58. they upgraded it to .62. they say they are using pc companion.
but problem still exists. it still restarts it was just minimized.
on .58 it restarts constantly and unuseable.
on .62 it restarts randomly when taking a picture, calling / receiving a call. sending/receiving SMS.
so now i really plan to upgrade to ICS .587 but am not sure if upgradeing via PC companion and via flashtool has the same effect?
or will i try to flash .62 again using flashtool?
I have Xperia Ray with Software 4.0.A.2.368 which I ONLY Rooted.
I am getting messages that a New Update 4.0.2.A.0.42 Available.
1) Should I Update my Phone to newest version? I heard 4.0.2.A.0.42 is giving Reboot loops and problems
2) I am already Rooted on 4.0.A.2.368, If I have to Update, I should do with PC companion or Some OTHER method?
3) Is the Root for 4.0.2.A.0.42 available? I want to remain Stock but just Rooted. Nothing else.

I am HTC user and not used Sony much before.. My brother got Xperia Ray and he wanted to install some rooted applications that my HTC has with Latest OTA...
I didnt know much about Sony so therefore I called for help... I had to spend almost 6 hours to learn everything about it MYSELF.. First 4 hrs spent on solving the problem that FlashTool was just searching for my Mobile and Not detecting it..I couldnt even Update it..:-S
Atlast I had to update via Wifi.. i didnt want to do in first case coz I was afraid of Bricking it via OTA which I read in many threads here.. But then Had to take risk..
You guys cud hav saved me 6 hrs by just spending 5 mins on replying me what to do...

1. boot loop only hapen if you unlock bootloader with 'the old ways' , with ' test point method ' it is safe to update .... but if you have lock bootloader then go ahead to update ... it's safe
2. PC Companion or SEUS is ok ...
3. you can root .42 with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346190 it's easy ....

your phone can be unlocked bootloader, you should check it, if your phone unlocked bootloader, you can't update OTA, only use flashtool
I have the same problem with my neo
i checked and my phone's bootloader isn't unlocked
DO NOT INSTALL CWM before OTA update, it will cause the failure. Install CWM after OTA update to v.062.
So:
- root v42
- install OTA v62
- install CWM
All done.
Is still possible to receive OTA update to .62, even when ICS has been released? I was thinking of a downgrade because of the poor video and wifi performance but this kept me from trying.

Yes, you can receive OTA from .42 to .62
ICS only update through PC Companion, not OTA

Though you locked your bootloader back but can you please tell me with which method did you unlock the bootloader ??
Because i think you have lost your DRM and once they are gone you cant get it back (DRM gets lost while unlocking the bootloader). And if DRM is lost then you cannot use SE official updates
lol i wont buy a new one for now.
